Forgive me if I missed a few thoughts already posted here-
Sturgis is hard to beat for promance and History and beauty.
Sturgis is in the middle of the country for a reason, its the middle, almost.
Next, it provides some of the most beautiful roads for a tour whilst there!
If you travel all of them you truly take home away inundated with amazement!
Irongate, Crazy Horse, Rushmore, Deadwood, Spearfish Canyon, Devils Tower etc.
A lot of History there.
Next, we have these bikes because we like to ride. Tour.
There is no such thing as too far, in fact, to close would be less than interesting.
Pick a great place, who would not come?
In theory, I agree with that. In practical terms, there are many like me who are not among the retired.
Further destinations obviously require longer travel times and eat up vacation time available. I get 3 weeks a year of PTO. Most of that gets used up for motorcycle related trips. I have several annual things I like to attend each year. If one of those requires a larger chunk of that PTO, then well I don't have to spell it out.
The VRCC INZANE rally was in Spearfish ,SD a couple years ago. Basically the Sturgis area. We had a good time there. We later went to the F6B Rally in Franklin,NC that year. But the F6B Rally ,being held over the Labor Day weekend and the location for us, didn't require a lot of Vacation time to go. If the Rally moves out to Colorado next year, we will have to make choices. That's all. Those choices may or may not include attending the F6B Rally. Been to the last 3 Rallies in Franklin,NC , Russellville ,Arkansas, and Pigeon Forge,TN this year. Had a lot of fun and enjoy meeting everyone here.
This year the VRCC INZANE was in Billings Montana. I would have loved to go, but many of the "group" I hang and ride with were not going so I made a choice to also not go and instead spent my Vacation time more on other more frequent trips including this year's F6B Rally.

Montrose, Colorado!
Ladies & Gentlemen,
Mark your calendars!

More information to follow in a separate Rally thread.
Cheers,

It's only October and the poll is leaning towards a East Coast location. What's the hurry? and why ignore the Poll?
I'm not staying home this coming year, I'll be riding somewhere. If I attend Colorado, on my return trip home I would consider having a "AFTER the EVENT" gathering (Kentucky area has my attention) on the following week (Labor Day Weekend) and meet up with members that can't attend Colorado.
Early arrivals on Thursday evening August 30th, riding Friday August 30th, riding Saturday September 1st with Sunday September 2nd or Monday September 3rd(Labor Day) being our departure days.
Anyone interested in crossing paths in Kentucky over Labor Day weekend after this Colorado event?
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
A little early for us to say if we could manage the vacation time etc.. for Montrose, but, for obvious reasons, Kentucky could be a go.

FWIW, myself and a three others trailered out to Colorado Springs last year. From sunny Sanford, FL it was 34 hours nonstop !!! We stopped for fuel and food. There were four drivers so really a non issue. We ran approximately 80 mph and just kept on going....For normal people this would be at least a three day ride. MO. took about 12 hours to cross! I say this just to let some from the East coast realize what you're looking at. For me and Monch, we will not be headed west. I have to say for those that go, it is some of the most amazing riding and scenery you will ever see. The area makes the BRP look like a pimple ! I am not a fan of splitting the board for two rallies, having said that there are many who can't make the trip west. Therefore having a "get together" Labor Day weekend is not a bad thing. At this point I will be in Franklin with Monch doing some riding and drinking! I want NO PART of splitting the rally, group or board, I just can't go west.

Sounds like twice the fun! I will do my best to attend BOTH locations. I think I better have fresh rubber mounted on my spare wheels, for a quick swap, and an oil change, between the two rides.

Forgive my arrogance or ignorance whichever it may be-but
If you all elect colorado-what else is scheduled to do there besides the motel?
My point- try to pick something that will include some rides and attractions.
The riding in that area of Colorado (actually all of Colorado west of Denver) is off the chain. Montrose is just north of the Million Dollar Highway. Hit YouTube and watch some motorcycles on that road. The whole area is majestic.
